FOUND IT CORRECT.
Poet-office Inspectors Examining the
Macon Post-office#
The chief post-office inspector has away
of pouncing down upon a post-office when
least expected, and making a thorough in
spection of its doings and contents. Hence
it was a complete surprise to Postmaster
Brown on Wednesday evening when Chief
Inspector Hartshorn and Special Agent J.
H. Livingston walked into the office and
began a tour of inspection.
The first thing done on these occasions is
to drop in just as the money department
closes. The financial department under
goes a thorough counting and an account
taken of all moneys, etc. This method
prevents the postmaster from taking from
or adding to the separate funds, or trans
ferring one to the other.
On Yesterday morning, having for a
basis the auditor’s statement for the past
quarter, which ended June 30th, they pro
ceeded to go through the entire office witli
its stamps, cards, envelopes and nu-

Young Lndr Kept Po.ieeeion of

A rich case came up oefore Justice Free

man fresh from ruralshadea, and it In the
employ of Mr. Henry Jones, in East Ma
con. He saw Miss Lucie C. Hudgen and
fell in love with her. As an earnest of his
lore he gave her a gold ring, in which was
engraved hit initial..
Miss Lucie is a very pretty miss, and ap
preciated the gift so much that she dis
played it around to a considerable extent
among her girl associates, who were green
witheovy. Mr. Smith as a matter of
conrse, was in demand among the young
ladies, as any young man haring
an inclination to distribute gold ring,
would be, and toon
FOUND ANOTHER FACE
that suited his fancy better than the fain
Lucie's.
She had his ring and he wanted it, but
the placed too high an estimate on it to
give it up without a struggle. To get It,
Smith resorted to strategy. He called up
on her and afler getting her in one of tbe
best of humors safd he wtnted to have
another ring raado and would be glad if
she would loan it to him so that the jewel
er could bare a model. She falfrd to
note the smile of satisfaction tnat flitted
across hit face aa the handed him the gol

her later.
A few days intervened but Smith kept
not bis promise. Mitt Lucie regarded the
ring aa her personal property, and as lie
would not return it aha swore out

before Justloe Freemen, and yesterday the
cate was beard. Smith acknowledged giv

do otherwise than turn it over to her.
She took the band and departed happy,

two sweethearts that is absolutely chilling

The cotton crop is cut short by the
extreme drouth. The outlook for an
active competition in mercantile mat
ters is promising. Quite a number of
new firms and houses have entered
business.
It is about settled, from what we can
learn, that there will be a triple contest
for Congressional honors in tins dis
trict. Judge Crisp, the regular nomi
nee, will be antagonised by an Inde
pendent and also by a Republican.
There has been an unusual amount
ot sicknesa in the county. There have
been a few cases of sickness in town,
but comparatively few. All those who
exclusively use artesian water have es
caped, so far as our knowledge and ob
servation extends, One thing ia ceij
tain, the artesian water is a blessing to
the town.
Tbe fall term of court in this circuit,
will begin with Dooly on next Monday.
Judge Mershon gave us a pop call
yesterday, to preside in a case in
which Judge l’ate was disqualified.
In addition to the nice brick block
of stores erected where the re
cent fire swept out suclt a gap there are
a number of handsome residences in
process of erection. Messrs. W. L.
Joiner and G. W. Turner will soon
complete their new houses. Mr. T. S.
Lewis has just completed an elegant
residence. The Episcopal church has
been enlarged and much improved in
appearance.
